SUSTAINABLE CORK PROGRAMME
Built Environment In early 2020, the construction and building services sector was poised and investment ready in Cork and the southern region, both in terms of delivering Project Ireland 2040 projects and FDI development.
The Construction Industry Federation reports confidence in Cork’s significant capacity to deliver the essential housing, infrastructure and specialist buildings underpinning the ambition outlined in the National Planning Framework. In addition, there are brownfield development opportunities in Cork of 179 hectares and the complete regeneration of the City Docklands area is laden with potential to employ up to 30,000 and create homes for 30,000 people15.
